Reconsider the scientifically incorrect decision that animals don’t feel pain.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

It is with great sadness and frustration that I learn of the very newly reported decision by MP’s to discard the concept that animals as having the ability to feel fear and pain. It is entirely incorrect flying in the face of thousands of documented papers and must be reconsidered.
